Right-wing talk radio is all abuzz about an interview conducted on Saturday in which 710 KNUS radio host Peter Boyles questioned Republican gubernatorial frontrunner Victor Marx about his various claims related to “rescuing” sex abuse victims in third-world countries and about Marx’s self-proclaimed martial arts background. Boyles spent an hour discussing various subjects with Marx […]
A new poll from Global Strategy Group released by Democratic Attorney General candidate Jena Griswold shows the incumbent Secretary of State with a more-or-less insurmountable lead over her three Democratic primary opponents: A recent poll of 800 likely voters in Colorado’s 2026 Democratic primary, conducted by Global Strategy Group, shows that Secretary of State Jena […]
The Democratic Primary in CO-08 was always likely to be a close race. New poll results bear that out. Three Democrats (Manny Rutinel, Shannon Bird, and Evan Munsing) are running for the right to take on freshman Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton). Evans is widely considered to be the most vulnerable Republican incumbent in the […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, is Donald Trump the least popular president in history, or just the least popular president in history so far? We dig in to the President’s latest pathetic polling numbers. Then, in a unique twist for our FAFO of the week, it includes, well, pretty much everyone! Except, you know, us, and if […]
Comey: Well, they're back. This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago. And this won't be the end of it. But nothing has changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary. So let's go. [image or embed] […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: As The New York Times reports, the Department of Justice is basically just doing a copy/paste from President Trump’s Truth Social account: The Justice Department filed a remarkable motion late Monday, written in President Trump’s recognizable online voice, explicitly linking the security breach at the White House correspondents’ dinner to the lawsuit over […]
In Rep. Gabe Evans’ official non-campaign “franked” newsletter to constituents this week, he left a bit of a puzzle for recipients to solve: I recently toured a new PMI facility in Aurora that is expected to bring significant job opportunities to our state. This facility alone is projected to create around 500 direct jobs and […]
As Jesse Paul reports for the Colorado Sun, yesterday all four Republican members of Colorado’s congressional delegation filed a motion to intervene in the Colorado Republican Party’s emergency request to exclude unaffiliated voters from the rapidly-approaching June 30th primary election…and not in support: U.S. Reps. Lauren Boebert of Windsor, Jeff Crank of Colorado Springs, Jeff […]
Republican State Reps. Ryan Gonzalez and Carlos Barron discussed a meaningless resolution on Monday honoring the Taxpayers Bill of Rights (TABOR) in Colorado. The resolution (HR26-1008) was killed in the House State, Civic, Military, and Veterans Affairs Committee, but not before Gonzalez demonstrated that he actually has very little understanding of how TABOR actually works. […]
Readers of Colorado Pols are well aware that certain Republican lawmakers are the political gift that keeps on taking from the GOP. The leaders of this stupid clubhouse, Colorado Springs Representatives Scott “Rock” Bottoms and Ken “Dildo” DeGraaf, delight in making absurd comments that absolutely cause more harm than good for Colorado Republicans. That trend […]
What a difference a few months can make. In November, Aurora voters resoundingly tossed out a bunch of needlessly-vicious Republican city council members, ending six years of “conservative” control of Colorado’s third-largest city. Led by right-wing blowhard Danielle Jurinsky — who quickly overshadowed GOP Mayor and former Congressman Mike Coffman — Aurora’s city business was […]
As Jesse Paul reports for the Colorado Sun, lawyers for the Colorado Republican Party who prevailed in federal court at the beginning of the month in their legal challenge against Colorado’s Proposition 108, the measure passed by voters allowing unaffiliated voters to participate in either party’s primary elections, are now seeking an emergency injunction to […]
President Trump’s approval ratings reach a new low seemingly every week. Democrats are widely expected to take back control of the House of Representatives in November. In races large and small, Democrats have flipped every single competitive election in the country since Trump was re-elected in 2024, often by eyebrow-raising margins. And yet…even the most […]
(Stopped clock and so forth — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Between a liberal media ecosystem she claims is biased against Republicans, Democrats’ fundraising machine, and rising anti-Trump sentiment nationwide, Heidi Ganahl says Colorado’s GOP needs a “small miracle” to win even one statewide race this year. “I’m going […]
We’ve been sounding the alarm since last August about a proposal by conservative television giant Nexstar Media Group to purchase Tegna, which would imperil the very existence of the Denver Metro area’s most popular news station for the last 50 years. Tegna owns 64 local news stations across the United States, including 9News in Colorado. […]
Back in February, Rep. Gabe Evans was in the mood to celebrate. The Bureau of Labor Statistics had just reported that year-over-year inflation came in at 2.4%, its lowest level in five years. Republicans in Congress rushed to take a victory lap, and Evans was among them. On Twitter, Evans crowed that thanks to House […]
We’ve talked at length in this space about the danger to rural hospitals resulting from President Trump’s “big beautiful bullshit bill” last July. The bill is coming due, and it’s bad news for Coloradans and politicians such as Rep. Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd (R-Grand Junction) who made a lot of half-assed promises about protecting rural […]
UPDATE: From the “You can’t make this up” department, we were reminded that the Independent Institute is one of the main drivers of a 2026 ballot measure designed to…increase transparency in government. —– After much nonsense and time-wasting from House Republicans, the lower chamber in the state legislature is finished with its part of the […]
The 2022 Republican state assembly was an epic disaster for the Colorado GOP, producing a slate of bonkers candidates that presaged a General Election in which Republicans lost EVERY statewide race by double-digit margins. On Saturday, Colorado Republicans convened in Pueblo and said “Hold my beer,” somehow producing a candidate slate that might actually be […]
Veteran Colorado reporter Susan Greene, now working for the UK Daily Mail who recently reported on Rep. Lauren Boebert following the Kid Rock tour with the tab paid by campaign cash, has an update on the wild and rapid public deconstruction of former Department of Homeland Security Secretary, South Dakota governor, and puppy slayer Kristi […]
As The New York Times (and every other news outlet) reports today, inflation is rocketing upward at levels we haven’t seen in four years: The Consumer Price Index report showed that inflation jumped to 3.3 percent compared with the same time last year, almost a full percentage point increase from February’s annual pace. Overall prices […]
There has been a lot of ink spilled (er, digitized) in the last day about new polling numbers from the Colorado Polling Institute showing that Colorado voters are feeling pretty glum about whatever subject that comes up. As Nick Coltrain explains for The Denver Post: Coloradans’ opinions on the state’s political leaders and on the economy […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, Democrats are UP and Pam Bondi is out as the “America Last” President fires yet another member of his cabinet — one that friend of the pod Joe Neguse also took to task, earning him the new nickname, THE CABINETSLAYER. Then Donald Trump, the peace president who was going to eliminate the […]
Today is (special) Election Day in Lakewood, Colorado’s fifth-largest city, and the results could have a significant impact on affordable housing efforts throughout the state. But before we get into that sort of speculation, let’s back up to examine what’s at stake in Lakewood. As Marshall Zelinger reports for 9News: Lakewood voters have a special election […]
As the Washington Post reports, and if you’re not reading it there you can check with any news outlet literally in the world: Twelve hours before his deadline for Iran to accept his deal or face destruction, President Donald Trump issued the country a grave warning, saying “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to […]
